The Casual Fan: Nicanor!

Nicanor!

First off, I am totally happy I finally got around to creating a virtual stable on Equibase! Updates on all my favorites e-mailed to me, such as Mine That Bird breezing 5 furlongs in 55 seconds at Churchill. Heck yea, run little dude.

But on another note, it has also allowed me to track Barbaro's littler brothers. Nicanor especially has been left out of much media attention due to his lack of a Derby bid, but I am glad to report that the little guy won one today at Delaware Park. Awesome Awesome!

Congrats Nicanor! Keep it going!

Confused?

Connections-> The people that "belong" to the horse: owner, trainer, and jockey usually.
Breeders' Cup--> A series of races in which the best of the best compete. Usually a win here results in an Eclipse Award.
Ecplise Award--> Awards given out at the end of the racing season naming the top horses and people in different fields.
Triple Crown-->A series of three races for colts and fillys age three. If a single horse wins all three of these races it is considered a magnificent feat.
Kentucky Derby-->The first race in the Triple Crown. Arguably the biggest race in the USA and most watched by Americans.
Preakness Stakes-->Second and shortest race in the Triple Crown.
Belmont Stakes-->Third and longest race in the Triple Crown.
Dam-->A horse's mother.
Sire-->A horse's father.
Gelding-->Castrated Male horse of any age.
Stud-->Male horse that is being used for breeding purposes.
Stallion/"Horse"--> Male horse five years old or over. "Horse" can refer to age or the general term. Usually I will be using the general sense of the word not the sex.
Colt--> Male horse 4 years old or under.
Mare--> Female horse 5 years old or over.
Filly--> Female horse four years old or under.
Quarter Horse--> Breed of horse usually associated with ranchwork but also races.
Thoroughbred--> Breed of horse usually associated with racing.
